MITCHELSON CUP MAY GO TO DOUBLE CHANCE

Big fields are carded for the Auckland Racing Club’s meeting, which opens at Ellerslie to-morrow. No doubt speculation will take a wide range in the Mitchelson Cup, but a trio that may fight out the finish are Double Chance, Valley Boy and Oaklahoma. Judging on the manner in which he won the Avondale Guineas, Tauloch, which has done well in the interim, should prove the hardest to beat in the Great Northern Guineas. Northern track watchers have a good word for Ozami, which did well as a two-year-old, and the son of Nizami may'provide most opposition to Tauloch. Horses in form include:— Gordon Hack Handicap: Ist Div: Rare Fox, Kind Regards. 2nd Div: Vice Chancellor, Akbar. Trial Hack Hurdles: Master Ted, Flying Jim, Bronze Pay. Great Northern Guineas: Tauloch, Ozami, Beau Conte. Shorts Handicap: Master Coronach, Coonbridge, Contango. Mitchelson Cup: Double Chance, Valley Boy, Oaklahoma.

Flying Handicap: Ist Div: Aylesbury, Wonder Boy. 2nd Div. Peter Nelson, Aggravation.
